The V8 technical section on this forum did have a thread relating to under drives but last time I looked, I couldn't find it. Best to speak to sponsors who supply them.

Have a look at this thread Underdrives discussion
Underdrives basicaly let more power go to wheels, Less weight to spin etc. Thats how I understand it anyway. John

An underdrive pulley also throws out the balance on your engine. Ford will not cover warrenty if you have one of these fitted.

Effect is much like what the gear box does, 1st gear will accelerate the car quicker than 2nd gear and so on. |

isnt the pulley and the harmonic balancer two pieces on the windsor? or do you have BA?
if you leave the balancer alone and just replace the pulley, i see no reason for there to be problems with harmonics, and even if you replace the whole thing, it may not make that much of a difference anyway - lots of people (esp with chevs i think) put steel balancers on their V8s and dont seem to have any dramas, though they are making a shedload of HP. |

How much more power to the wheels would you gain from replacing the pulley? Is it a notable difference? I personally didnt think it would make THAT much of a difference.
